Watch: ‘Shaken and emotional’ passengers arrive in Israel after Flydubai incident


Passengers from the diverted Flydubai flight to Israel have arrived at Ben Gurion Airport following a stabbing incident earlier on Wednesday.

A pilot on an Israel-bound flight stabbed another pilot and “apparently tried to crash the plane”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, with the flight later being diverted to Saudi Arabia.

The BBC’s Yogita Limaye is at Ben Gurion Airport as passengers arrive.
